This Week’s Topics
Comments from the EditorIt is hard to believe that April is nearly over. It has been a busy month for me!This past weekend, I was involved with a local event called Indy Code Camp (www.IndyCodeCamp.org). This is an all-day event that the local user group sponsored and ran. It was 24 different sessions on coding topics. A member of the community led each session. Unlike the typical Power Point presentation, in general, each session was more of a deep dive into code with an above-average amount of interaction from the audience. The end result was a great day of learning on a large range of topics for developers. The Code Camp concept is something growing across the United States and around the world. It is by developers for developers and the events are almost always free. If you do a search for “Code Camp,” you’ll see that there are a lot of them happening. In fact, if there isn’t one happening in your area, you might want to consider creating one. It is a great way to meet others in your area doing development as well as a chance to learn new things. In addition to the Code Camp, you’ll also notice one other thing I’ve been involved with over the past week. You can see an obvious change in the newsletter. Although a few people prefer straight text, most people are now more interested in seeing a little bit of formatting in the newsletters they receive. As such, we’ve converted the Codeguru eNewsletter into HTML. Is it better? You’ll have to let me know. I’m sure we’ll be trying to tweak it a little over the coming weeks. Because of your feedback, you’ll find that the same content is still here. We didn’t drop anything. Hopefully, the update to HTML is one you will find beneficial. Until next week… Brad!
